HRPM – Chapter 378 I’m a Pervert (1)

“Hmph. He never treats me with any tenderness or consideration. He’s always bullying me and squeezing money out of me, but now he’s suddenly being all chivalrous toward someone else. What a skirt-chaser.”

“Still, if you’re drinking on someone else’s behalf, one cup isn’t enough. It should be at least five.”

Jin Luoluo snorted inwardly. Go on, play the hero. Drink yourself to death.

Xiao Yu was the first to raise his hand in agreement.

“Exactly. One cup is far too little. If you’re going to shield a beauty from drinking, you should make a real sacrifice and drink five cups.”

Zhao Lin, who had been keeping her head lowered, looked startled.

“That doesn’t seem appropriate. How could I possibly feel at ease making Your Highness drink so much on my behalf?”

As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Xiao Luo again, her watery eyes carrying both anticipation and shyness.

Xiao Che mocked lightly,

“What’s inappropriate about it? Perhaps Seventeenth Uncle is delighted by the idea. After all, drinking in a beauty’s place is such an elegant and romantic gesture.”

Despite being ganged up on, Xiao Luo remained perfectly composed. His gaze swept toward Jin Luoluo, and a faint smile curved his lips.

“If Luoluo wishes me to drink, then naturally I shall obey.”

Without changing expression, he proceeded to down all five cups in succession.

Xiao Yu cheered enthusiastically.

Jin Luoluo felt even more annoyed.

What does he mean, “if Luoluo wishes me to drink”? He was obviously the one trying to play the hero and win a beauty’s favor, yet somehow the blame ends up on me.

So unfair. Absolutely infuriating.

“Next round.”

Jin Luoluo picked up the cards, shuffled and cut them, then spread them out in a row for everyone to draw.

Beaming, she revealed her card.

“I’m the King! This round, Number Three must shout three times at the top of their lungs, ‘I’m a pervert!'”

Xiao Luo, you shameless flirt—this will teach you!

Everyone else instantly looked speechless.

The punishment was embarrassingly awkward. Who would willingly stand there calling themselves a pervert?

Yang Ruoyao was the first to voice her disdain.

“Miss Jin, isn’t this punishment rather vulgar? Couldn’t you come up with something more refined—something befitting aristocratic taste?”

“What can I do? I’m not like certain noble ladies who keep talking about refinement and elegance all day long. I simply can’t put on that act.”

Jin Luoluo immediately shot back.

The moment Muyun heard Yang Ruoyao’s criticism, she rushed to Jin Luoluo’s defense.

“Who says it’s vulgar? Who do you think you are, always pointing fingers at everyone? I agree with Jin Luoluo. This is fun! Hehe—punishments like this are hilarious. If everything has to be elegant and refined all the time, where’s the enjoyment in that?”

Yang Ruoyao had originally intended to seize the opportunity to mock Jin Luoluo and let Xiao Che see just how crude and lowbrow her tastes really were.
